Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups pretzel rods or mini pretzels
- 8 oz semi-sweet or milk chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)
- 4 oz white chocolate, chopped (for drizzling, optional)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- Toppings (optional):
- Sprinkles
- Crushed nuts
- Crushed candy canes
- Mini M&Ms
- Sea salt
Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. (Or use a double boiler for gentle melting.)
- If using, stir in coconut oil for a thinner consistency.
Step 2: Dip the Pretzels
- Dip each pretzel rod about â…” of the way into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. (For mini pretzels, use tongs or a fork to dip completely.)
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 3: Decorate
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with toppings like sprinkles, crushed candy, or sea salt.
- If using white chocolate drizzle, melt the white chocolate the same way and drizzle over the pretzels with a spoon or piping bag.
Step 4: Set & Serve
- Let pretzels set at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until firm.
- Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Use dark chocolate for a richer flavor!
- Holiday Tip: Customize with red & green sprinkles for Christmas or pastel colors for Easter.
- Gift Idea: Package in treat bags tied with a ribbon for homemade gifts!
